Praise for Happy Dreamer "Empowering. . . As an exploration of emotions, impulses, and creativity, the book would help children identify why they feel the way they do,
and help others understand why people may respond to events differently." -- Booklist "Like a roller-coaster ride, Reynolds' text and illustrations capture the energetic side of creativity and the gloom of cleaning up the messes that come with it while providing a wide vocabulary to describe emotional brilliance and resilience . . . A sweet gift to praise spirited individuality, this choice encourages readers to dream big." -- Kirkus Reviews "Reynolds returns to familiar inspirational territory as he celebrates individuality, self-expression, and the joys of being a dreamer...
He offers a liberating validation of dreaming as restorative, comforting, and powerful, while giving kids full license to be themselves."-- Publishers Weekly "Celebratory...The digital illustrations feature loose linework and soft, swirling pastels. As in many of Reynolds's books, the text is hand lettered....A lovely graduation gift."-- School Library Journal "Delightful...Unraveling messy thought processes enthusiastically, Reynolds' prose soars. Even the end papers, like pint-size graffiti, have colorful affirmations that children will enjoy decoding . . . Out-of-the-box thinkers will know they are not alone and all will be inspired to become unique 'dreamers maximus.'"-- School Library Connection Praise for The Dot * "Simplicity itself, like the dot in the title, this small book carries a big message." -- Booklist, starred review * "In this engaging, inspiring tale, Reynolds (illustrator of the Judy Moody series) demonstrates the power of a little encouragement. . . . Reynolds pulls off exactly what his young heroine does, creating an impressive work from deceptively simple beginnings." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review * "With art that seems perfectly suited to the mood and the message of the text, Reynolds inspires with a gentle and generous mantra: 'Just make a mark.'" -- School Library Journal, starred review " . . . it may speak to formerly artistic young readers who are selling their own abilities short." -- Kirkus Praise for Ish *"Ish. . .encourages readers to see the world anew." -- School Library Journal, starred review
